In this special episode of the Black Women Amplified Podcast, I’m taking you behind the scenes of how I wrote and self-published my book Have We Lost the Plot? in less than a week. Yes, you read that right. Seventy-two hours, one laptop, and a whole lot of truth. This is not a story about going viral. It’s about completion.
It’s about trusting your voice, honoring your story, and finally saying what needs to be said without waiting for permission. I’m sharing the real deal. Why I decided to stop overthinking and just start. What happened when I let go of “perfect”? How the book evolved from a business idea to a cultural commentary on AI, identity, and staying human in a digital world. And why authorship still matters, especially for Black women with something to say.
So if you’ve ever said, “One day I’ll write a book,” this episode is for you. If you’ve got a story, a solution, or a lived experience that could help someone else, this is your invitation to get it on the page. Whether you want to write a how-to, a personal reflection, or a bold thought piece like mine, it starts with one decision. Start.
